Windows (Description): Description and operation

Description

General

All models feature electrically operated windows on the side doors and the tail door.

The side door windows are controlled by a window lift ECU and individual rocker switches located in the centre console and, on 5 door models, in the rear door trim casings. 5 door models also incorporate an isolator switch, in the centre console, for the rear side door windows.

The tail door window is controlled by the Central Control Unit (CCU), a rocker switch on the fascia, the remote handset and the tail door handle and lock. The CCU also uses inputs from the rear screen wiper system and, on 3 door models, a roof switch, to inhibit window operation while the rear screen wiper is operating or the roof is open (soft back) or removed (hard back).

Front Door Windows

The front window regulator and motor is supplied as an assembly and is handed. Each assembly comprises a front and rear runner, a continuous cable and a motor.

The runners are secured in the door frame with four screws. The door glass is located in two carriers which are located in tracks in the runners. The glass is retained in friction pads in each carrier and secured with clamp screws.

Each carrier is attached to the cable which, in turn, is attached to a drum driven by the motor. When the motor is operated the drum pulls the cable in the required direction to raise or lower the glass.
